Having won eight Premiership winners medals with the Reds, Ryan
Giggs is ideally placed to comment on Uniteds title chances this
time around, and the Welshman reckons Sir Alexs side can push
Chelsea all the way.
Top of the league and fresh from their most convincing performance
of the season so far, a 4-0 demolition of Sam Allardyces Bolton,
United are in great form so far having taken 25 points from a
possible 30.
Sir Alex has claimed his side will need to amass over 90 points -
65 more from 28 games in order to prevent Jose Mourinhos side
capturing a third successive crown.
"Our squad is strong enough, said Giggs. We have two or three
players for each position which is what you want with so many big
games throughout the season.
The important thing is not to suffer too many injuries or
suspensions. Providing we have more or less a full squad available,
I am sure we can cope. We can't afford too many mistakes in the
title race," he added. "We got close to Chelsea last year and we
hope we'll get even closer to them this time.
We knew we had to put together a good run from the start and be
consistent throughout the season. The most promising thing is that
the young lads have come into the first team and performed
well."
The 32-year-old winger is one of ten different goalscorers in the
league for the Reds so far this season, an impressive attribute
this United team will come to rely on as the title race develops.
Giggs added: When we've been successful in the past everyone has
contributed with goals. Obviously Ruud scored a lot of goals, but I
hope we can all chip in this season. It doesn't matter who scores
as long as we get right results."
